would you rather live on a large, very private piece of property with an amazing view--perhaps on a lake, river, or in the mountains--but in a perfectly livable but small and otherwise unremarkable house or doublewide mobile home?
How could you compare a million dollar home in The Villages, as it's much more expensive to maintain than a trailer sitting on a large piece of land. The cost of maintaining a trailer is negligible unless it's located in Malibu or in a similar kind of location where property taxes are astronomical.
